A trio of adorable North American river otters — Huck, Pippi and Jane — will make their Sarasota debut Friday in Mote Marine's new special exhibit “Otters & Their Waters.” It will provide an otter’s-eye view of their homes in watersheds, which are important lands that drain water toward rivers, estuaries and the sea. Visitors will get to watch these super-cute river otters that were orphaned too young to survive alone and were raised by wildlife rehabilitators. At the exhibit, Mote’s animal care specialists will work with the otters and educate guests during narrated training sessions twice a day. Narrators will reveal where the otters came from, what they eat, how and why they are trained and why people should keep watersheds healthy.
